GPU Mining on Intel Apple Mac using XMRig and KawPow

[Klinge]

Hi, I was using XMRIG for CPU and GPU mining at the same time for about 10 days. But I found that MacMiner works much better and much more quietly since version 0.3.8 in Intel Mac. You can download last version here https://xcreate.com/macminer/

Hi, aim new to this and a little bit confused. Is the link in the previous post real or fake ?
I thought macminer can only be downloaded as mentioned in the tutorial from here:

https://github.com/fabulouspanda/MacMiner/releases

Thanks for answering

Hi, looks like 2 different versions to me. Although, if anyone has tested the other version mentioned in the link I'd also like to know

I have the following issue.
It doesn't work at the moment...

Anyone has an idea??

The other failure I get is "End of file" when I try different settings


invalid mining.subscribe response: result is not an array

[macminergod]

What are you using to try that?

Im on a Mac Pro.

Its an Intel Mac.
Not a M1.

Thanks so much for this guide. I just found it and think I'm pretty close to getting GPU and CPU mining running on older Mac running 10.14.6. I'm using the Unmineable pool and my CPU worker shows jobs getting accepted and shows up on my Unmineable stats page. My GPU miner isn't quite working though. It appears to be running but I'm not seeing any jobs getting accepted and it's not showing on my Unmineable stats page. I've let it run for up to twelve hours with no jobs accepted.

Does anyone see anything weird in here that might be causing me a problem? Also, can I do dual GPU and CPU mining with one config.json file? Currently I just have two copies of XMRIG, each in a separate folder with their own JSON file. Could that be causing the problem?

Hi everyone. I set it up and it's running but strange things happen! I'm using mac, egpu and kawpow.
1. After a while it says "no active pools, stop mining" huh?
2. Mining speed is about 100 MH/s but it never even shows worker online on unmineable! huh?

I'm trying to mine ELON coin by the way. Hope anyone can help sort this out.

THANK YOU.
